About this property
Front-row golf views. Timeless resort charm. A peaceful oasis.
This classic villa at the prestigious Río Mar Resort offers serene golf course views, cooling tropical breezes, and old-world Mediterranean character. Perfect for travelers seeking a peaceful, authentic resort stay rather than a cookie-cutter modern condo.
This cozy and beautiful villa is located front row to one of Río Mar’s impeccably maintained championship golf courses, offering expansive green views and a tranquil setting designed for true relaxation. It’s a retreat where mornings begin with coffee and the soothing sounds of nature, and evenings unwind with warm breezes and quiet resort ambiance.
The interior reflects timeless Mediterranean charm, featuring terracotta Saltillo floors accented with delicate azulejos, a soothing coastal color palette, and high ceilings that allow natural airflow.
Situated within Río Mar, an upscale Mediterranean-style resort, guests are surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, cobblestone roads, and tile-lined staircases that give the area a refined, old-world feel. This is a residential resort enclave known for privacy, beauty, and understated elegance.
This villa is ideal for travelers who value location, views, charm, and calm over trend-driven interiors. A classic resort stay in one of Puerto Rico’s most desirable destinations.
A Classic Río Mar Experience
Unlike newly built condos, this villa offers something increasingly rare: craftsmanship, warmth, and a sense of place. From its traditional flooring and tile details to its open, breezy layout, the villa reflects the character of Río Mar’s original resort vision, designed for comfort, beauty, and connection to the surrounding landscape.
For travelers who value authenticity and atmosphere over passing trends, this villa delivers a memorable and genuinely relaxing stay.
This villa is a great fit for: • Golf enthusiasts who want front-row course views • Couples seeking a peaceful, romantic resort retreat • Slow travelers and repeat Puerto Rico visitors • Guests who appreciate character, space, and authenticity • Travelers who prefer quiet elegance over nightlife and crowds
This villa may NOT be ideal for: • Guests expecting ultra-modern interiors or smart-home technology (although WiFi and smart TV are provided) • Travelers seeking a hotel-style experience with daily housekeeping, concierge or room service.
HOUSE RULES & EXPECTATIONS

Why Guests Love This Villa
Guests often mention the sense of calm they feel the moment they arrive. The front-row golf course views create an open, peaceful backdrop that instantly slows the pace, whether enjoying morning coffee or winding down at sunset.
Many appreciate the villa’s timeless character, its warm terracotta floors, classic tile details, and airy layout, describing it as inviting, comfortable, and full of charm. The high ceilings and natural tropical breezes are frequently noted for keeping the space bright, cool, and relaxing throughout the day.
Travelers also love the location within Río Mar Village, highlighting the quiet, residential feel combined with easy access to the beach, golf, and many of Puerto Rico highlights.

Good, clean property, well-maintained, excellent for golfers, easy access to nearby Wyndham resort, beautiful views of the golf course, Josie provided almost everything you need on a vacation including beach chairs and towels, lots of speed bumps in the vicinity, so one has to drive slowly to get around. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay !

Thank you, Ashwin! Thanks for the caution about the speed bumps! People do need to be aware!
Thanks for staying with us!
You're welcome anytime!

This place is great. It overlooks the golf course and is 50 meters from the clubhouse. The clubhouse has a shuttle to the beach club. Josie is very responsive. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much!
You were such a great guest!
It was a pleasure hosting you!
This was our second time staying with Josie - and it was excellent! She communicated clearly and promptly. The villa had everything you needed in the kitchen and baths, 2 beautiful patios to enjoy along with beach towels and coolers. I asked her about beach chairs and she responded by adding them to the property before we arrived. I would highly recommend staying here! PR is magical and the Wyndham Rio Mar is the perfect home base.

Very relaxing, well maintained, and close to a lot of what we came to Luquillo for.
Really enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for the three of us and great deck overlooking the golf course.

We had a lovely stay! Josie was very quick to respond to our questions, the property was very clean and the location quiet and serene! Highly recommend!!
Amazing villa at a great resort. Great for beach/golf lovers and close to “El Yunque rainforest”. Restaurants near by and great views. Highly recommended and the host Rosie its amazing.
My daughter and her family stayed in a neighboring villa. I wanted my own place so the 1 bed, 2 bath villa overlooking the golf course was perfect. Josie was an exceptional host and it was a ver tranquil stay. I would love to rent this same unit again
Great communication and check-in and check-out! Property was exactly as described - clean, beautiful view of the gold course from covered patios. Josie accommodated our early check-in request and welcomed us with a bottle of champagne and some sweets!

Thank you so much for your feedback.
We loved having you as guests. Excellent communication. Super friendly, and left the villa immaculately clean. We look forward to hosting you again!
We really enjoyed our stay. The villa was a great option for our family of 4. Great views of the golf course. Josie was a great host - very responsive to all of our questions. We enjoyed the pool and beach area as well, they even had a beach/pool bar open a few days. Also, the location was another plus. Very close to beaches, restaurants, the rain forest and marinas in Fajardo. All in all, it was a great stay!
Host was very accommodating and reachable. Property was clean. Beautiful and relaxing view to the Wyndham Rio Mar golf course. Property is close to the beach, access to private pool area, tennis courts, golf area and restaurants. One parking space just by the stairs (few steps down and up) to the apartment. We enjoyed our stay and recommend it.

Josie was helpful and responded to our requests. The unit was somewhat run down and tired. We were lacking towels the first week (2 decent bath ones, 1 thin bath one for two people). The bottom sheet didn’t stay on bed. We were supplied with more towels and better sheets but not until the second week.
Josie was such a great host. She was always available and helpful and the property is just gorgeous. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend.
Fue una experiencia muy grata y agradable. Las facilidades y atención de Josie fueron excelentes. Su disposición a contestar nuestras dudas y preguntas por email fueron casi al momento. Una persona muy agradable y atenta. Recomendamos esta villa. Esperamos volver en el futuro.
We had a great time at the villa. The location is very family friendly. It's quiet, safe and easily accessible from the airport. The villa is very spacious. We had no issues to accommodate family of four. It has everything you need to prepare simple breakfast and supper. The pool and the beach access is very close by. At any time you can do laundry (great plus especially when traveling with kids). I cannot stress enough how great Josie is as a host. Her communication with us was superb! She took time to explain all the details about villa and the surrounding area. She gave us suggestions where to travel and visit interesting places on the island. I highly recommend this villa for the future explorers :)
Celebrated christmas with my family of five and had such a wonderful experience with the location and host who made everything extra special. The accommodations were perfect for our family as we went exploring during the day and had a great time relaxing on the patio overlooking the manicured golf course. I would highly recommend this gem of a property with a beautiful pool and a short drive to easy beach access.
